| - PublicUs should have a couple of taglines.
"Ugly on the outside, beautiful on the inside." That's the imaginary tagline for PublicUs. The outside of the building does not look like it would house a restaurant that has such a modern and sleek presentation. The tables are sleek, there is fake trees throughout the place that actually look good, everything looks clean and modern. Even the bathrooms were neat, although there's practically no light and the faucet is more for looks than for ease of use.
"Sweet latte art for people who like sweet coffee". That's not sticking. Still. I got some kind of chocolate mocha latte (don't exactly remember) and a Macadamia Nut Paste Latte. They are pretty good with the foam art. Definitely looked pretty. The chocolate mocha latte was very good. I like my coffee sweet so it had the right amount. The Macadamia Nut Paste Latte is not something I could recommend though, unless you like chewing your coffee. The Nut Paste included chunks of Macadamia nuts in there. They absorbed none of the sweetness of the coffee. It was jarring to drink coffee and end with nuts in your mouth. That's on purpose.
"Style over substance" for the food. I'm not high on this farm-to-table / organic everythang trend, but that trend is thriving here. There's being fancy because you are trying something new and exploring new flavor combinations, and then there is doing it because it's trendy.
I ordered Steak and Eggs and the Corned Beef Hash. Of course, the corned beef hash wasn't normal corned beef. It had some sort of orange sauce, I believe it might have been a coconut-chili sauce. My fiancee couldn't handle the sauce, said it was too oily. I could stomach it but agreed it was much too oily. Knowing that corned beef has already been soaked in brine, it's weird to add MORE OIL to it. Plus, the amount of sauce was crazy. Looked like a curry bowl more than anything. They also don't give you a ton of corned beef for the price.
Steak and eggs. This was so new on the menu it didn't include descriptors. Thought it was a pretty safe bet. Welp. The steak tasted off, like possibly gamey. Now, it could be because of something like the cow was fed with a diet that only consisted of mixed greens flown in from Monteplier France OR more likely that it was an older piece of meat. I've eaten plenty of clearance section meat from the store and it always has this particular brand of funky tang to it.
The good thing though is that the eggs are, guess what, pretty good. And you know what, they should be good if they are organic, right? The toast is phenomenal. So the more breakfast aspects of the meal were great and the other parts, not so much.
This place is gorgeous, it's enough to venture to this place to check out the decor and the ambiance. If you do go, I would stick to breakfast staples. Eggs / Toast / Pastries / Coffee.
